I agree that banning music would indeed be a gross infringement of peoples freedom of expression but to say that music has no influence on people behaviour and attitudes towards society i think is naive and underestimates the effect all media related messages have on the mind. I agree that music alone would not cause someone to commit a crime or offence against an individual or society, but as part of a wider problem of negative messages being sent to young people about how to live their life, and about what is acceptable and what is unacceptable, it has to take its fair share of the responsibility. To ban it would be improper and meaningless. What is required is a sea change in attitudes proliferated through all media. And not punitive top down measures, but measured responses from those in the business taking responsibility for the effects that their work has on society.
